I'm into a lot of different music and go to a lot of shows. This was hands down the most fun I have ever had at a concert. I never doubted their song execution would be great, but it was perfect. The creativity and eccentricity written into their songs straight-up exploded all over the venue. So much audio and visual stimulus I forgot which was which. I wish today (7 months later) that I was still there.

I didn't get to see Typhoon, the first opening act, but GroupLove and Portugal. The Man were both equally unforgettable. The crowd was just as excited to see GroupLove as they were to see Portugal. Both bands played several songs that weren't theirs by amazing artists like the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Beyonce and the Who among others... I loved this because they would start off playing one of their own songs and somehow managed to turn it into something completely different which gave an awesome fluctuation of energy throughout the show. Also, how many of us are gonna get to hear "Tennage Wasteland" live ever again? Simply incredible. I will always be a fan of both bands and forever attend any show they play near my current location. KEEP IT UP GUYS! YOUR FANS <3 YOU!!!!

They were amazing! Typhoon, the opening band, was great. GROUPLOVE was on next, and they were completely amazing. Their stage presence was awesome, and they were great performers. Definitely a great performance and great set. Portugal. The Man played afterwards, and everything was above and beyond. The AV was great, their sound was amazing, and their concert was so full of love. All three bands played their hearts out, and they were so emotional. It was truly an amazing experience.

This was the best concert I have ever been to. Portugal the man is my favorite band in the world and they absolutely exceeded my expectation. Grouplove was also amazing. The crowd was so hype and sang along to every single song and the venue was beautiful. I will never forget this concert!

Awesome show!

Grouplove and Portugal were awesome! The venue was great! It helped that it was gorgeous out. Good times had by all! My only issue was the lack of beer selections. I'm not a fan of hoppy beers, but that's basicly all they offered :/

The BEST Concert to this day!!!

The excitement and anticipation throughout my day. My anxiety building up by the second was all worth it to watch not one or two but for all three bands. Standing outside in central park is like no other concert arena. This is the place I always watch my favorite bands. This concert has surpassed words for a description. You had to be there.

Grouplove and Portugal. The Man put on an absolutely amazing show!!! The light show was intense and trippy as well! Absolutely enthralling live! The only aspect that bothered me is how short Portugals set was... but it didnt take away from how amazing they were as a whole!

Grouplove was okay but once again Portugal. The Man amazes. This is the third time i've seen them and it was by far the best

Overall, because this event took place in Central Park towards the end of the summer and capped off the Honda Civic Tour, I give this 4 stars. I was thrown off by Grouplove opening for Portugal as early as like 6:30pm, when I expected them to go on stage at like 8-8:30pm. Grouplove's stage presence was a lot better than when I saw them in March at Terminal 5. Only things that felt weird were: (1) Christian's hair cut made things feel off, and (2) Sean Gadd suggested via Tweets that he'd be coming back and he didn't so we missed out on some great songs that he plays bass for and brings vocals to. Great highlights include these covers:- Grouplove yet again covered "Drunk In Love" by Beyonce- Portugal covered "Another Brick In The Wall" by Pink Floyd- Portugal covered "The Nightman Cometh" from "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia"- Grouplove and Portugal ended the show with "Hey Jude" by The Beatles

Portugal was talented but a few of the songs sounded very similar in melody. There was a point where I was hearing "Don't Look Back In Anger" by Oasis and then... the song turned into a cover of that very song! Their other songs sounded like "Fell In Love With A Girl" by The White Stripes, "Believe" by The Bravery, "Sea of Love" by Cat Power, etc. They're very talented and I hope their next album features more original sounds (even though that's tough these days - don't get me wrong, Grouplove echoes the sounds of so many different bands but they make mask it with their own sound).

P. TM

Portugal. The Man was outstanding. One of the best shows I have been in a while.

First of all it was a beautiful night in New York. The weather was just right and the crowd was ready to rock and roll. Typhoon opened with a great set and it just kept getting better. Grouplove was spot on and their take on Baba o'rieiiy was outstanding. Portugal the man kept the show at a high note and the their closing with Hey Jude (featuring all the bands) was really sweet.

went to the show in central park it was absolutely remarkable. Went mainly to see grouplove. Of course they put on an amazing show , thy always bring so much energy. Have seen them a few times before and i think i could 100 times more. The real suprise for me was portugal the man came in sort of a fan left in love. The show was sick especially ghe lights. Definally a rockin tour. Sick venue as well.

The concert was good besides the fact that they were a bit behind schedule, which was a little annoying. It was raining that day so the more prompt they would have been the better the concert would have been.

I had not heard of most of the bands before they were announced in the show, so I listened to them weeks leading up to the show. Though the lead singer of Brick + Mortar was rude to the audience (telling them to "Shut the fuck up" after nearly every song so he could share a bit about himself), they rocked the show. Another favorite was Sir Sly and of course Grouplove. I think everyone in the audience was shocked by Grouplove's cover of Drunk in Love.
